Explanation:
73. In a D.C. generator in order to reduce sparking at brushes, the self-induced e.m.f. in the coil is neutralised by all of the following except
A. interpoles
B. dummy coils
C. compensating winding
D. shifting of axis of brushes
Explanation:
74. To avoid formation of grooves in the commutator of a D.C. machine
A. the brushes of opposite polarity should track each other
B. the brushes of same polarity should track each other

75. In D.C. generators the polarity of the interpoles
A. is the same as that of the main pole ahead
